Can something like this be used to heat up (not cook) soup or is it unable to hold liquids?

Yes, I guess it would heat up soup. Not sure how it would work and if you would need to put at least a small amount of water in the reservoir without damaging the unit.

Probably. It has a little bowl inside and it can get super hot. To be honest, I bought it to heat towels in my office. Perfect for that.

There are 2 issues to consider - 1st: it´s easy to leak some liquid from it. 2nd: maybe it will be hard to wash inside after using soup, due to the heating system.

I can't imagine why you would want to pressurize soup or sauce, but it would not function with any kind of solid pieces in the soup. it would clog and you'd be left with a pressurized cylinder that you could not relieve the pressure on.

Yes, it's made to keep liquids hot as well as cold. You can easily use the cup on end of thermos to pour your soup in.

In my opinion, it works great for heating and eating soup and other dishes. I use them at work to microwave my lunches and they really do the job; and they do it without using plastics that can leave chemicals in the food when heated. The extended edge of the bowl lets you carry it around without touching the really hot portion. I have to admit that when I fill them too full (where they start to spill and get too heavy) they begin to feel weak when I get them really hot. A regular size can of Campbell's soup would never be a problem though. Hope this helps.

Yes, I have 3 of them and they will all hold hot liquids (soup's) while rolling around on the bottom of a back pack. Now if a top is not placed back on correctly that is another problem.

Yes. So this item isn't good for heating soups, etc., but works great for heating water.

I don't think that I would try it for hot soup. It is fairly small. I used it for carrots/celery/ranch dressing. I don't know how it would handle the temperature of soup.

I haven't specifically made hot pot, but there's really no reason that I can think of why you couldn't. It doesn't have a huge capacity, but I have used it for a coconut milk based Cambodian fish soup because it holds it at a specific temp.

I have used for soup, I add hot water to the thermos while heating soup on the stove. The soup stays warm.

I don't think it would work for that it isn't insulated so your soup would cool off quickly and i don't think it's particularly leak proof.

It could handle heating, but not a great way transport. It may leak a little around vent with straight liquid.

No, these are definitely not made to hold hot foods. For chili or soup, you would be much better off with styrofoam or waxed paper containers.

yes it should hold the hot liquids but I believe its intended to kI personally would not use it for hot liquid because I don't know it's the interior plastic can handle the heatit may start to break down and crack

Yes you can. I have cooked soup and hot dogs in mine. It is very versatile, and I use mine every day.

yeah for sure. good idea actually. i wouldn't do a soup or liquid - not sure if water tight. i carry crackers around in ours.

We have used ours for boiling eggs, but have not tried macaroni or soups. I don't see why not, but clean-up afterwards would be a concern. The lid opens quite wide, but does not get to a 90 degree angle to the kettle, so you can't scrub it like you would a regular pot and it cannot be immersed because of the built-in heating element. Once you get "particulate matter" out of the pot, you can always boil a little vinegar in it to further clean it. I recommend using it to heat the water for your pastas and soups, then use standard equipment at the stove.
